Used to be picked on

Thanx for your responses, its interesting how the nerds almost always triumph over the schmucks you meet in school. But as tHe Good Book says: "Bleesed are the geeks, for they shall inherit the Earth"

 

i still sorta get picked on..


my family and people at work call me "hippy"

and at school i hear people talking about me being barefoot..

doesn't bother me now though. i don't get a flying fuck heheh

i'm damn near 30.. i do as i please

 

i used to get picked on cos i was ginger and my freckles...
later on cos i didnt have any boobs
now i get picked on cos I'm 22 and still living at home with the 'rents

 

Zeppelin, is that james spader? That sig picture is hot

 

That is so beautiful

and true! We're all fucked up in one way or another, geeks are just people who aren't very adept at hiding it

 

yeah, thats james spader, isn't he gorgeous?

 

He is making me slobber

 

have you seen him in Crash?

 

I used to get picked on in school too... it sucked
and none of the boys wanted to go out with me

 

Yea right... there was plenty of boys that wanted to, unless you went to an all girls school that is.

I'm headed straight for the 6'4" long hair, and maybe I'll lose my pimples.


Someday its going to be me vs. entire class in debate because I'm so left. I'll win it too.

 

I think we've all been picked on at one time or another.

I've been picked on for having a lot of acne (pizza face), I've been picked on for wearing thrift store clothes (what are you, poor? Do you live out of your car too??? "Yeah, in fact, I do"), I've been picked on for being a barefooter (ooh, that's gross, I bet your feet stink), I've been picked on for having dreads (ewww, that's disgusting...how dirty!), I've been picked on for not having the best car, I've been picked on for being a little overweight, I've been picked on for being ugly...

Yeah...I've been picked on a lot.

I also remember getting picked on for being a little geeky. For punishment growing up, my mom would take my books away from me. LOL

 

No, you dont get it buddy, I was picked on. A lot.

I remember going to the shops with two friends one day and about 30 kids from my year started following me calling me nasty horrble names.

I got harrased by some of the "popular" girls every goddamn day.

They would say horrble things about me. Calling me a slut and a whore for no bloody reason. They used to threaten to bash me. I was so scared, i wouldnt go to the shops by myself, I even hated walking to school incase they saw me.

In primary school, I was picked on for being fat, and ugly, and poor.

I remember being out and about with a friend one afternoon when two of the 'popular' kids and two girls I knew started following me through the neighborhood, throwing rocks and mud at me, calling me awful names.

In highschool, the boys said I was gross and disgusting and ugly. No boy ever asked me out in school.

But I got bailed up by three guys who held me there and groped me, without my permission walking home from a friends house...

Not exactly the attention I was after

So, actually, yes I was picked on...

 

But you're cool now right? Thats what matters.

Green, don't worry too much about being better than anyone, if you do "grow up" use your new found confidence to make things better for all people.

 

Aww retro ..... that was a tear jerker. Especially about the groping bit - I didn't think people would go that low. I was one of the people who got picked on the most at my school. I got high in the ranks as a person in about year ten but still got picked on something shocking. People even tried to pick fights with me, probably because I wrestled cattle and sheep at my dad's on the weekends and I was one of the strongest in my year group. I also knew a lot but was incredibly daft - which is a recipe for ridicule. By year 11 I was someone that everyone in the school knew, thanks to some high recognition parts in school plays, but there were still people that gave me a hell of a time because they had nothing better to do with themselves.

The outcome? Well, I've pretty much lost faith in mankind and don't even bother participating in competitions of any sort because, when it comes down to it, life is nothing more than a popularity contest and I'd be buggered if I'd know how to handle one of them!

Oh - and the song by Auidoslave which says "to be yourself is all that you can do ...." bollocks. Be a product of society - you'll be more accepted then.

 

I didn't say you didn't get picked on. Your school sounds like hell though.

 

I don't see what confidence has to do with helping people. I actually don't see how you got the idea that I worry about being better than people? People don't mess with me. Nobody has messed with me since middle school. I've never been insulted or anything really. The other day a bunch of insecure kids banged on a window and laughed at me because I was sitting by myself listening to music, but thats it really.

There are reasons people don't make fun of me too.

 

I use to be picked on for being chubby and "weird".

This one guy use to pick on me really bad, even though I was way bigger(taller/over all a larger fellow than anyone else in my classes) until one day I just snapped and beat the fuck out of him and he told on me and we both got paddled(this was in 8th grade).

He got killed in 9th grade... he was riding with a drunk driver and he had no seat belt on.

 

oh man. How did you feel about that?

I'm don't know what my reaction would be if any of my archrivals had died.

 

I was a total odd-ball in high school. I was the only gamer girl I knew. I was into video games, WWF, UFC, anime, etc. Boy-stuff. The girls all thought I was a freak for not watching "Melrose Place" (gag me with Heather Locklear's "because you're worth it" commercials) and swooning over the Backstreet Boys (who should've been left on the backstreets). The guys liked me for my gaming-ism, but they thought I was too weird to date. :S No happy medium.

Oh well. I met up with my ex-husband at that point. He's a pretty awesome guy. We just grew up and have moved on. Now I have an awesome boyfriend and a great life. Vive l'oddity!

 

No, no mate....I never thought any of those things at all, I think you're really cool. I was just giving some "just in case" advice to someone who seems to have more of an aptitude for individuality...and when you're a true individual you get confident, and if you're anything like me, whcih you might not be, you might become a self righteous bastard when you're older who despises eveyone you think isn't on your level of thinking. When I had finished school and i was about 18 or 19 I had to really stop being bitter about being different and just learn to love everyone. I'm not saying you haven't or you wont do this, I just don't want to see anyone fall into the same trap. You're a fine fellow at the moment i say
